Having the Right Gear Makes All The Difference

Motorcycle enthusiasts, rejoice! The Ultimate Harley helmets Buyer’s Guide is finally here. We know you’re eager to find the perfect helmet for your ride, and we’re going to help you do just that. In this guide, we’ll tell you everything there is to know about motorcycle helmets – from what they are made of and their history to tips on choosing a size and style that will suit your needs perfectly. You’ll also learn more about safety standards in order to make an informed decision when it comes time for purchase.

The first thing to consider when looking for a Harley helmet is the type of riding you’ll be doing. There are three main types of motorcycle helmets: full-face, modular, and open-face. A full-face helmet covers your entire head and features a solid chin bar for extra protection. A modular helmet has a hinged front that can be flipped up to allow for more ventilation or worn in the traditional full-face configuration. Open-face helmets leave the face exposed and are typically less safe than other styles.

Next, think about what materials you want your Harley helmet to be made of. The most common materials are polycarbonate and fiberglass. Polycarbonate is lightweight and durable while fiberglass is heavier but offers better protection in the event of a crash. Some Harley helmets also have an inner shell made of Kevlar or other materials for extra protection.

Safety is obviously the most important factor to consider when buying any helmet, and motorcycle helmets are no exception. All Harley helmets sold in the United States must meet DOT safety standards, but there are also additional safety certifications such as ECE 22.05 and Snell M2010 that you may want to look for. These certifications ensure that the helmet has been tested by independent laboratories and meets certain safety criteria.

Finally, size and fit are extremely important when choosing a helmet. You’ll want one that’s snug without being too tight, and it should cover your entire head including the temples and back of the neck.
